Bouvé Faculty & Staff : For Preceptors

Welcome to Northeastern University Libraries. As a preceptor with a sponsored account, you will have access to a wealth of resources. Follow the steps outlined below to receive access via a sponsored account.

Note: Some resources are limited at clinical sites due to restrictions in their licensing agreements. Some may require onsite access on the Boston campus.

The program coordinator may have started the process to get your account, if not you can  Apply for your sponsored account through the ITS (Information Technology Services) web site.

The sponsoring department will need to authorize your request. Accounts do expire and will need to be renewed by the department as well.

Once you receive notification that your sponsored account has been approved, claim the account by following the instructions in the email.

Once you have a sponsored account, you may want to get a Husky ID card. A card is needed to visit the library in person, or borrow physical items.

 (If you do not need to use the library in person, go to Step Three.)

Fill out the authorization form to obtain a Husky ID card. (See Husky Card services for information about photo guidelines, pick-up locations, etc.)

Then see Registering for Borrowing Privileges from Northeastern University Libraries. See Borrow & Renew policies.

You have applied for a sponsored account, and your sponsored account has been approved. 

Now you can use the same electronic resources as other Northeastern University affiliates. 

Here is the list of e-resources available to you as a preceptor. Some resources, such as Micromedex, are prohibited from use at clinical sites-- a restriction that is uniformly applied to all Northeastern University affiliates.
